No Other Gospel

It is Sunday and it is time for today's sermon. Today's scripture can be found in Galatians 1:6-10.

6I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you by the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let him be eternally condemned! 9As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let him be eternally condemned! 10Am I now trying to win the approval of men, or of God? Or am I trying to please men? If I were still trying to please men, I would not be a servant of Christ.

Here we see Paul writing to his churches from his first missionary journey. He knows that they are embattled as they fight the Judiazers. This group was insisting that converts follow Jewish dietary laws and be circumcised. Paul deals strongly and certainly with the idea of exchanging the power of Christ for the slavery of the law.
Today we are still fighting battles of other Gospels. Here are just a few:

• Eastern Religions

      Buddhism

      Taoism

      Hinduism

• Mormonism

• Islam

• Humanism

• Legalism


Conclusion: Just as the Judiazers were attacking the Gospel of Jesus, we are under attack today. From the slavery of legalism to the dilution of the gospel with the influences of Eastern Religion. It is time for us to stand up for the Gospel. It is time to live what we believe. Jesus still saves and there is no other Gospel than that.
